Emperor Of Kings

She had an oval face, slightly lighter than ivory with a rose-colored tint to her cheeks. Her small hazel eyes were lively, warm, and sparkled with bliss when her lips slightly curved. Her smooth blonde hair with soft curls fell just past her dimpled chin. Her pink, slight, b.u.t.toned nose that was just above her delicate lips that always had a faint smile.

This was the new face of Arrora, the mask perfectly changed her face by using the bound energy just like the battle energy. Seeing Arrora"s new face Don realized the items in his s.p.a.ce rings now can be used by his subordinates using the bound energy.

As Don was studying the face changer Knight already started to train his army by using the device and Don was waiting for the first batch to complete their cultivation.

Standing before Don, Arrora couldn"t guess what he was planning now.

She knew that to describe his facial expression would be like describing a blank sheet of paper. He could have been in a coma for all the life his face showed.

Arrora wanted to ask what he was thinking but before she could do that the throne hall doors opened as Knight entered the room followed by a group of elves and dwarves. Behind Knight, Elves were led by Arwen and the dwarves were led by Stodemar.

"Don now we have ten hybrids in elves ten in dwarves all of them just reached the master level"

Uncle Dior almost coughed up blood when he heard Knight and looked at the twenty people while scratching his head a bit. Just yesterday the people standing before Uncle Dior were just a Beginner or Apprentice level but it took just one cultivation session using the device to get their cultivation to reach master level. He knew if they have thirty more master level magis in their army they can go out and start conquering smaller kingdoms.

"Cat give me those"

Don asked and reached his hand out to his right as twenty Khals appeared on top of his hand.

Arrora saw the twenty Khals were floating towards the twenty people before her as each of them grabbed one.

"Arrora and Arwen you two are going to lead this mission"

Arwen and Arrora"s mouths hung with lips slightly parted and Arwen"s eyes were as wide as he could stretch.

"Stodemar you the backup if anything goes wrong, create a diversion so they could escape get it"

Although Stodemar seemed a little disappointed to be just a backup, Stodemar knew Arrora and Arwen have more experience working under his king than him as he bowed his head to show his agreement.

"Each of you will lead five elves and five dwarves Arwen put this on"

As he said Don took another face changer from his s.p.a.ce ring and threw it towards Arwen. The elves and dwarves gasped mouth full of air in surprise when they saw Arwen"s face changing visibly before them.

Arwen"s new face was stern, even a little melancholy, in repose, which was transfigured when he smiled towards Amaryll. He now had a long-boned face, tapering to a pointed chin, black hair instead of his natural silver hair and his pointy ears transformed into human ears.

"But Don what"s the mission?"

Everyone looked at Don for his answer, some of them had excited faces while others had a worried face.

"You are going to attack the slave city"

At the moment those words came out of his mouth small yelps and squeals could be heard in the hall.

Hearing Don Amaryll"s eyes and her mouth were frozen wide open in a stunning shock, and although she was staring straight at Don she appeared not to notice him at all.

"Why?"

Amaryll decided to ask him, she never wanted to question Don but she couldn"t find a reason why they have to attack the slave city and also making her brother lead the attack with Arrora

"Did you forget about what the dragon king said?"

Don didn"t shout or raise his voice but the voice was so dominant and reverberated through the hall.

"We cannot win even a small war without having an army let alone the great war he mentioned, you think a hundred people is an army?"

Hearing Don no one opened they mouths as he continued

"Without attacking and conquering the human kingdoms, do you think we can save your people?"

Don wanted them to remember their people who were taken by the humans as slaves

"To save your people to save your family to save your peaceful life here we don"t need cowards we need an army and resources"

Don knew he was not used to giving pep talks but he tried his best to kindle the courage underneath their fear. Standing beside Don Knight noticed the elves and dwarves showing some courage on their faces but seeing them like this after Don"s pep talk Knight couldn"t guess whether they heard a pep before or if Don was actually good.

"And don"t think we going to live here happily and peaceful, happy and peace only happen in children"s storybook if we don"t take the fight to them sooner or later the mysterious mage or someone will find us"

Stodemar and Arwen knew what the black-robed mysterious mage was capable of, especially the dwarves as the mage almost killed Reghys by cutting off the magical energy around the mountain.

"Don"t walk beside me I may not be your friend Don walk before me I won"t follow you but walk behind me I will lead you to the life you all dreamt"

Don looked at everyone to see if anyone had any more questions but no one asked him anything but looked determined than they first heard about the mission especially the dwarves they couldn"t hold their excitement thinking about a battle.

"Good you two will be teleported inside the city walls first and rest of you cover your faces with hoods"

Just like he said the people before Don put on their hoods while Arwen took out his bow and checked the strings and arrows on his back.

"What do we do after getting teleported?"

Arrora never forgot the slave city and she was determined to do some damage to the city when she heard Don. Don could see the fire sparks in Arrora"s eyes. She was trying to hide her anger and emotion from showing on her face but for an expert in hiding the emotion like Don, it didn"t take much to figure her out.

"First you two need to gather intel like is there any grandmaster staying in the city or anyone could threaten your life"

Arrora and Arwen nodded towards Don as he continued to tell them their mission

"Then get information about the slave traders, slave markets in the city and how much security they have"

"And you want us to rescue the slaves and teleport them back here with us here"

Before Don could say anything Arrora finished his thought and let out a cold grin. Seeing Arrora"s cold smile Amaryll was surprised because she never saw such expression on the half elf"s face before and she secretly blamed Don and Knight for this in her heart.

"Yes bring back many slaves as you can, it"s time they finished their life as slaves "

After Don gave the orders Knight taught them some surviving skills and battle skills to the elves and dwarves while Arwen and Arrora went to their rooms to change their clothes. A moment after, Arwen came wearing the black hooded overcoat Don bought him and Arrora walked towards Don wearing the black warrior robe Uncle Dior gave her before the feast, the same robe that Don bought for her.

Arrora and Arwen looked exactly like the army commander in their new clothes, especially Arrora the metal plates and silver lining gave her the aura of a natural-born killer and leader and Amaryll could see the resemblance of Arrora"s clothes to the black robe Don is wearing.

While seeing Arrora and Arwen walking towards the teleportation array Don called their names as they turned their head to see Don sitting on his throne

"Don"t leave any slave traders alive"

Hearing Don Arwen gave him a nod and continued to walk as Arrora slightly unsheathed her sword to show the shiny metal

"Oh first I will make them beg for death and then I"ll kill them"

Don and Knight felt Arrora"s killing intent even from standing a few feet away from her and saw her following Arwen behind

While Amaryll and Uncle Dior were worrying about their safety they saw Knight grinning like an evil villain.

"This is going to be thrilling Don"
